Photography tips

.... For how other people set up.

Today, while out getting lunch, I happened to see a video crew set up in the corner of the food court. I walked past on my way to buy lunch and made a mental note of how they set up everything.

I have an indoor event coming up that I will be photographing and every time I have an event I always consider how I might shoot it.

In the 4/3 lens lineup the zoom lenses are very fast but mayby not quite fast enough. I am considering picking up a Sigma 30mm f1.4 prime to use.

As luck would have it, I have been able to borrow one of these lenses for a few days and Have been putting it thru the paces to see if it is for me.

Well of course I am talking about your Camera.

I had a little incident today that would have a totally different outcome if I had NOT had my Camera with me today. Fortunately, I picked it up on my way out the door and a single photo may in fact be the most valuable photo I take all year.

Well, Today I spent an afternoon at the Footy - I went to watch Norths and Sturt Play at Prospect Oval.  I packed a Camera, all my Flash cards and choose my longest lens and my new 1.4x Tele-converter.

The motivation for going is that the local weekly newspaper is running a photographic competition during the SANFL season - with a weekly prize and a final prize at the end of the Year. Not only was it an afternnon out at the Footy, but If I managed to get a decent photo I would submit it. (More)

At some stage most photographers have a go at a creative Self Portrait. Well, It was not something that was really on my to-do list, but as it was this Months challenge over at 4/3 Photo I decided to jump right in and at have a go. (More)
